Genome modifications in microalgae are becoming a widespread and mandatory tool for research in both fundamental and applied biology. Among genome editing methods in these photosynthetic […]

Alternative routes for the post‐chorismate branch of the biosynthetic pathway leading to tyrosine exist, the 4‐hydroxyphenylpyruvate or the arogenate route. The arogenate route involves the transamination […]

Is the ocean full of small hybrid vehicles? From an energy point of view, a microalga is a ‘vehicle’ containing two ‘engines’: the mitochondria, a combustion […]
